Ohhh boy.. LOL. Who's familiar with this look?



In other news, I have more boys in my Brown Leghorn group than I originally thought.. Ugh.. But I'm fairly positive I have at least four girls so that's still not terrible.

Flower is right about the appropriate size for adding younguns.. I have a skewed view because I'm always putting littles in with only Brahmas, which are exceptionally easy going. Some other breeds (AM/EE, for example), I'd never put smallish juvies in with.

I am familiar with that stare. Too familiar.

I agree about the AM/EE hens. I put a grown AM rooster in with my EE hens and even he had to fight about every one of them before they would except him and they still about plucked him balled. They are so timid and just crazy. You put any calm or docile breed in with any AM/EE and they don't have a chance and if they do make it, they will be just as crazy.

7 chicks out now, and, ummm, 5 are Naked Necks!!!!  I must subconsciously put in all my NN eggs!  You think???  14 more pipping!

Sounds like an awesome hatch so far! Can't wait to see pictures of the new babies.

My five from last week are doing great! Looks like 3 are definitely frizzles! Unfortunately I think Sunni's chick is a little cockerel. With pea combs, 3 rows of peas = a boy, yes?
 
North Georgia chicks!

So y'all were talking about having a "good chicken day" yesterday.. Well I went to bed last night and woke up today to THREE dozen eggs ordered, and then got a call today and sold six sweet baby chicks tonight. :)

Now I'm just waiting on the first pip from tomorrow's hatch.

I am so nervous about moving my 3... 6 wk old chicks into the big coop with my 2 big 1 year olds...
I've let the babies go in and I've run interference a few times but yesterday my production red hen was relentless... She even went at me for getting between her and the chicks!! My leghorn had started at them a few times but then got bored ...
I'm so worried !!!

I don't add mine to the big girls until they are 3 months old. They should be at least 2/3 the size of the older ones. I just have separate areas for them.

I'm with Flower, I don't add them until they're almost as big, and that depends on breed really. At least 14 weeks, normally about 16 weeks. I have my run divided and part of my coop inside divided, and the littles have their own spot in and out, here's the outside section, they have their own pop door, their own water source.
.
here's the inside view before bedding of course


and the inside from the end, I can access the brooder/cage from either spot. Have the heat lamp permanently installed and wired in
 
and since I'm posting projects, today I took some left over stuff and built a bench to set my kitchen brooder on so I don't have to get down in the floor to deal with chicks



and a new bin feeder for my bantam pen. Found the paint in the 'ooops' section at Home Depot for $9
